There isn\u2019t much that I\u2019m afraid of. Outside of San Francisco, there is an amusement park called Great America that has a ride called DropZone. \u00a0Basically you are brought up 207 ft in the air and then free fall almost to the bottom and suddenly stop. While I’m buckling myself in the seat, lifted and then suspended in air, I imagine that the ride will malfunction and crash into the ground. Some say I’m sick, but I like to think that I’m more of a thrill seeker.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Well this weekend I went to the top of the tallest building in the U.S., seventh in the world, formerly known as the Sears Tower and now named the Willis Tower. 103 floors high, 1,353\u00a0feet (412\u00a0m), I stepped out of the tower\u2019s steel and glass structure that protrudes out of the building looking straight down. Most people would be scared shitless, but I was having the time of my life. If you are ever in Chicago, you need to step into the glass box and see if you are a thrill seeker.<\/span><\/h4>\n
